Where is this road? I live in Princeton and am always looking for new places to ride my GT+. I usually ride in Hunt County northwest of Greenville above 380.
That's not the +. For it to be the +, it would have the hard bags. I have the +, first year release in '22, had to wait 5 weeks for delivery of the bags and mounting hardware, but Suzuki sent me a gift package for the wait.
@@stevensoldano2763 Supposedly, no tune is required. However, to truly get full potential, a tune is highly recommended. Aside from the power improvement, the throttle response improvement is truly what made a difference.
@@FullThrottleExistentialist so tune isn’t 100% necessary unless u want the full top speed of the bike. So I can just change exhaust the bike will still be super fast
Your next bike? EASY- a Yamaha FJR1300. You'll just need to improve the suspension, add a can, and Map it. BEst Sport Touring bike ever made... I should know- I've owned many such bikes
Installing this system on my 22 GT now. Wasn't sure if I should leave the OEM manifold copper gaskets in, or figure out how to get them out and install Lextek's. Also looking for where I plug in the servo eliminator.
Sorry that I missed this message. I hope you got it all figured out now. The servo eliminator plug is under the tank. I left the servo in place and tucked the cables.
Shop around for insurance rates. I was quoted $5k per year by one company, $3k, $1k, and down to $0.8k. All of them with equal coverage above the minimums with collision. Progressive and Liberty Mutual gave me the best deals. I was deciding between this and a Hayabusa. The mix of sport and touring were key. It's a comfy tourer when you want it to be. A missile you do desire. Yet it retains the insurance categorisation of its docile personality.
@@FullThrottleExistentialist yeah I was quoted 1200 bucks a year and I just couldn't, I'm also still pretty young in my 20s so the insurance does love to have me pay for that haha but that's good to know, thank you for the response Im glad I subscribed you have nice clean content
@@nativeoutdoors1780 thank you... I'm my 20s it was a struggle to go to school, work, and play. I totally get it. Keep at it. And thanks for the compliment. Stay tuned for more content. I had the bike tuned last week. It's been insanely windy out here for over a week so the sound quality isn't what I want it to be. I'm working on a follow-up video of the exhaust plus the tune.
Recently installed a similar Lextek on my GT. That cold start deep rumble is drool worthy. Makes the bike have more presence when it rolls up to bike meet 🤣
Great minds think alike! The GT has always gotten attention from people. The color, the styling, the fact that it is a sport touring bike... so much to love about it. But the exhaust seems to truly be the one that captures people's hearts. There are two kids in my neighborhood that run out to ask me to rev it every time I pass by.
It was between the GSX-S1000GT+ and the Busa for me. I chose the GSX due to much cheaper insurance and the inclusion of paniers. I do long rides occasionally and it is nice to quickly install the "bags" and go. Might still get the 'Busa, though...
Hi, can you please send me the link for the full exhaust? I have checked Lextek's website and couldn't find the exact model for my 2022 GSXS-1000GT bike.....
Hello, the full exhaust installed on my bike I purchased via a Facebook group for the GSX-S1000GT: facebook.com/groups/suzuki.gt.owners/ Paul H. is the designer. He's the one to ask about availability.
I don't know. Sorry. They have the same engine and I suspect they share exhaust design. There may be a need to adapt the muffler mounting point but it shouldn't be difficult to do. I've since changed my exhaust to a full Lextek exhaust, by the way, and I'm thrilled with the results. Check out the exhaust in action here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-de12aXn9Mkg.htmlsi=ZG1QAeg_og9Nk9UU
you mean to tell me you sat on that horrible seat from deleware to texas. please tell me you have an aftermarket seat .i have a 2022 and cant be on it for more than 90 miniuts and then cant wait to get off it i thought my tracer was bad holy moly . if you was able to accomplish that your my hero . i love my bike but that seat is bad. id really like to hear the exhaust at full throttle under load
Life got in the way of the trip. However I did put in many hours on that seat. I think my longest ride with fuel stops, of course, was about 8 hours in one day. I left my keys at the beach. Take this with a grain of salt but I find the seat to be adequate. It could be that being a mountain biker I don't stay in one position long. I move forward and back inside to side often. It could also be that I have extra padding. I read the reviews and forum posts complaining of the seat. So I'm not discounting the fact that that is a possibility. I'm one of the fewer one of the only people that don't have a problem with the seat I suppose. As for the exhaust underload and full acceleration... And to make a long story even longer... I'll be reunited with my bike in the next few weeks. Though I plan to replace this exhaust with a full exhaust I'll do my best to record a clip of it before I remove it.
i have an airhawk pad plus have them gel padded bike shorts they help but not much i got a boney arse.but i can sit in my truck all day i wonder if there is a way to mount my truck seat on the bike lol
@@poppacapinya Join this group. There, you can search for seats and just about anything to do with the bike. There are folks ordering and installing the GX seats and they seem to like them.
